1.3. OUTCOMES<br />
OUTCOME 1<br />
<strong>LGCDP</strong> Outcome 1: Citizens and Communities engaged actively with Local<br />
Governments and hold them accountable<br />
Analysis of Outcome formulation:<br />
• The outcome contains two separate but related elements: a) engagement with<br />
local governments, and b) holding local governments accountable.<br />
• Although the outcome refers to both citizens as well as communities, the programme<br />
implies that in many cases, citizens will engage with local governments through<br />
community organizations.<br />
• Although not specifically mentioned in the outcome formulation, the logic of <strong>LGCDP</strong><br />
implies a particular emphasis on engaging those citizens who have previously not<br />
been involved in community organizations and in local government. Many (but not<br />
all) of these citizens will be members of a marginalized group and/or women.<br />
• Communities broadly refers to permanent and temporary communities and to<br />
formal as well as informal communities.<br />
• “Engaged” refers to an involvement during planning, decision-making,<br />
implementation and monitoring of local government activities. It refers to a<br />
participatory approach and should result in a high degree of ownership.<br />
• Local governments refer to District Development Committees (DDCs), Village<br />
Development Committees (VDC) and Municipalities.<br />
• Holding local governments accountable includes two key elements: a) being aware<br />
and understanding what local government can/should do, b) transparency by being<br />
able to ask questions to local governments on financial and other issues.<br />
